Starlet turned burlesque dancer (1910–1956) who incorporated ostrich fans, flowers, and bubbles into her burlesque performances, and even competed with Sally Rand as a fan-dancer at the World’s Fair. She received film acclaim for her sole film role as Maxine in 1938’s Prison Train, but her stardom ended there; in 1954 she lived through an overdose of sleeping pills. Two years later she moved to Chicago in hopes of entering the spotlight once again, but shortly after midnight on September 26 she was walking down the stairs of a hotel when she suddenly opened a window. As a friend grabbed at her skirt, she tore loose and jumped. Her body landed on the roof of a one-story saloon next door; she was 46 years old. Her effects reportedly comprised of just a pair of rented fans and “miscellaneous clothing, one white metal ring, train ticket to Erie, Pa., and 85 cents.” Vintage glossy 8 x 10 photo of the sexy entertainer in a top and nothing else, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Frances Rasiner, My Sincere good wishes! Faith Page Bacon, ‘42.” In very good condition, with moderate creasing and rubbing, and a tear towards the middle of the top edge.
